EP.25 After the Demonic Sword (魔劍后). (2)

After the Demonic Sword (魔劍后). (2)

After talking moderately about Wi Seol-ah, it was late at night, so we hurriedly made something to eat and finished our meal.

How many days had she starved? I was taken aback and asked if he normally eats like that.

As if the attendants were used to it, they answered that Wiseol-ah originally ate like that.

Come to think of it, the fact that I kept picking up and eating potatoes on the first day must have been a good thing.

It wasn’t just that the number of mouths increased, but that it increased for a few people.

The moonlight shines on the valley water.

I settled down on the side of the valley for camping, but perhaps because of that, I felt the spring breeze and the weather getting colder than usual.

It was around midnight, and the escorts began preparing to stand watch.

It was a tedious task, as I had to constantly look around to prepare for any unforeseen situations by attaching horsepower around the tent.

As we sat looking at the moon, Muyeon approached.

“Brother-in-law, go in soon. The weather is getting cold.”

“No matter how cold it is, I will be warmer than the escorts.”

Because of the influence of the Simbeop, I still feel cool, but not cold. I was sitting blankly in front of a campfire.

Wi Seol-ah received something from the attendants at the tent, and then ran away. Wi Seol-ah was bringing a bowl of dumplings.

Why dumplings all of a sudden…?

It looked like it had just been steamed. How the hell did you steam that here?

“Sisters want to share with older brothers!”

Turns out, it must have been a late-night snack prepared for the escorts to eat.

Wi Seol-ah distributes them one by one, and the escorts smile broadly when they see it.

Wi Seol-ah’s appearance was a great weapon. In my previous life, when I was an adult when I was all grown up, there was a guy who lost his face in a match with Wi Seol-ah, but is it different now?

Before long, Wi Seol-ah, who had served dumplings to everyone, quietly sat down next to me.

“Bocchan, I brought you a big one.”

With a bright smile, Wi Seol-ah hands me two dumplings.

I took the dumplings and said.

“Can I not sleep? You will have to get up early tomorrow.”

The schedule was fixed, so tomorrow we had to leave as soon as the sun rose.

So from now on, you should be able to sleep at least comfortably.

“You’re not even sleeping, Bocchan.”

“…what am I?”

It’s okay because I have a little bet, but it can be a little difficult because Wiseol-ah isn’t a warrior yet.

I took a bite of dumplings and asked. The dumplings were also great for being plump and moist.

The cold wind is slowly getting stronger. Muyeon warmed up and woke up. I also had to get into the carriage soon, so I pushed Wi Seol-ah on the back.

“I’ll go in quickly and throw it away if I don’t wake up tomorrow.”

“Huh… that’s too much.”

“The dumplings were delicious.”

I took the remaining dumplings in one bite and went inside the carriage to sleep.

******************

“Really disgustingly far.”

Time passed and it was already the fourth day since I left Sega to go to Sacheon.

All they had to do was ride a wagon during the day and camp at night.

I also practiced Simbeop in my spare time, but it wasn’t a particularly remarkable growth.

In the first place, it wasn’t like suddenly gaining enlightenment and suddenly gaining enlightenment, so I had to endure it.

“…leaving aside what to do when you come back.”

Maybe it will take like this even then. how can i bear it

Even now the road was so rough that the carriage could not speed up.

Thanks to that, I was watching the scenery outside.

“young master!”

“Why are you calling?”

“Look over there. excuse me! It’s a squirrel!”

I follow the horse and look towards the tree, and I see a squirrel picking up acorns and eating them.

“Yes, it’s a squirrel…”

“It’s cute!”

The only thing I did on the way was to talk like this with Wiseol-ah from time to time.

If you think about it roughly, they say that Yakgwa is better than potatoes.

They say pigs taste better than wild boars… Come to think of it, why is it all about food?

I asked if the squirrel was cute, feeling more creepy than Wi Seol-ah, who was pointing with his hand.

In the end, I couldn’t overcome my curiosity and had no choice but to ask.

“Have you ever eaten a squirrel?”

At my question, Wiseol-ah looks at me with a strange face.

“Bocchan…. I can’t eat squirrels anyway.”

Bocchan, are you stupid? It was very unfortunate to see him looking at me with that expression.

If you said you ate an eagle, what else would you say you couldn’t eat a squirrel?

It was something nasty, so Wi Seol-ah took one of the yakgwa and tried to eat it, so he took it and ate it.

“Huh… Huh!”

Wi Seol-ah looked at it and her eyes widened.

His face turns funny as if he is in shock.

It was as if he had heard that the world would end tomorrow.

Seeing him make an expression that the world is collapsing makes me feel a little relieved.

“How could this be…”

“You need to stop taking medicine and taking some. Look at your face, it’s become rounder.”

“I’m not round!”

“Ask other people. Isn’t it?”

“Hongwa sister! I got round!?”

An attendant named Hong Wah, who was laughing while listening to our baby on the other side, hardens when he hears Wi Seol Ah’s words.

Then, he slowly turned his head away from Wiseol-ah.

He ran away because he couldn’t answer.

Seeing that, Wi Seol-ah’s expression changed from shock to resignation.

“I’m… round…”

“Yeah, you’re round.”

Distracted by my finishing blow, Wi Seol-ah leaned her face against the wall and kept her mouth shut.

To be honest, Wi Seol-ah’s face didn’t swell like steamed buns.

It’s just that he’s gained a little weight compared to when I first saw him.

‘But what about being fat?’

Thanks to Wi Seol-ah’s talkativeness, I was able to spend some quiet time.

Suddenly, looking at the scenery outside, I remembered what was to come.

‘Things should work out.’

Visiting the Sichuan Tang Gate is an excuse to ask for it, so I thought so. I had to think of Geumcheonyeonga and Gyecheonmun.

How much time can I spend looking for remarks?

Three days at most? Time was much tighter than expected. The only information I know is the area where it was discovered and the surrounding environment.

I was half thinking that if I couldn’t find Vigo in the end, I would really sprinkle it in the open.

If not, at least I had to find some way to keep it from falling into the hands of Gyecheonmun and other sapas, among them those who turn into demons.

If you are looking for remarks? That’s what I had to think about when I went there.

‘Suddenly, the food ingredients in the wagon were also falling.’

It was because the road was rougher than expected and because of the rain on the second day, there was some distance left to the primary target point.

…It’s probably not because he really eats a lot. Perhaps…

He asked Mu-yeon, sticking his face out of the carriage.

“How long do you think it will take for the unleaded road to be in order?”

“From the coachman’s words, it seems that at this speed, we need to go one more time.”

“It would really be faster to walk.”

In my heart, I thought it would be better to throw everything away and just run, but I was worried about my body, which would probably be exhausted without even half an hour running, or a gift to bring to the party.

“Ha ha…”

Moo-yeon, who had been laughing awkwardly, put on a sharp expression for a moment.

I wanted to ask Mu-yeon what was going on.

“what’s the matter?”

“stop.”

There was no answer.

It’s a stiff voice. In an instant, the group stopped on their way.

I also raised the feeling of strangeness in the smokeless atmosphere.

A strange sign is caught in the five senses. When I felt that, I smiled unconsciously.

It was none other than the sign of a monster.

“For some reason, it seemed peaceful for several days.”

“There are not many of them. I’ll take care of it soon, so please rest.”

It was like last time, I was told not to come out and show off and stay stuck.

I also thought of just sitting down this time, not knowing what would happen if I grabbed the magic stone.

Fortunately, it is not a magic scripture.

To put it mildly, it was the remnants left after the door to the Magic Palace was closed.

The approaching sign is swift. Are they coming after us? Something was strange about that.

Sasasasak.

A strange sound is heard in the grass.

Muyeon and the escorts had already drawn their swords. So that it can be cut down immediately whenever it attacks.

It wasn’t long before something ran through the grass.

-Kwaaaang!

Before he could figure out his true identity, a smokeless sword cut through him.

Knock Knock!

The guy fell to the ground with a dull sound, as if he died instantly from Muyeon’s sword. The guy was a monster in the shape of a bear.

I always thought of him as a bear when I saw him, but when I compared his size myself, he was really similar to Elder Lee.

Nokjuung (綠株熊).

Like the horned dog, it was the one that popped out of the lowest level of the demon gate.

“This bastard…”

Muyeon frowned at him.

“There are other wounds besides the one I cut.”

“hmm?”

When I checked Muyeon’s words, there was another sword wound besides the one Muyeon had inflicted on him.

The disparate movements that felt like a bet were they trying to escape from someone?

A monster from a human?

That was another nonsense.

Those whose only instinct is to kill something…? Even the signs of the monsters that I felt disappear one by one.

In the back, I could feel something else killing them one by one.

fast. It was coming towards us little by little.

Moo-yeon is momentarily taken aback by the unexpected situation, but immediately prepares to confront the enemy with the escort.

The person who was gradually getting closer appears through the grass without hesitation.

-Quaaaaaang!

It was Nokju-woong who jumped out like before.

Chew!

The sword that followed followed and passed through Nokjuung’s head.

cooong!

Blue blood flows from the fallen Nokjuung.

Muyeon didn’t care that the monster was dead and was just looking through the grass.

Mooyeon then asked.

“Who are you? Identify yourself!”

In response to Muyeon’s cry, someone suddenly appeared from the grass.

It was a man with a sword. I wanted to check it properly, but I couldn’t see my face properly because I was hiding it.

All we can tell is that he is a woman based on his body shape.

She came closer and closer to us with light steps.

The closer she came, the more I noticed the clothes she was wearing.

There were a lot of leaves and dust all over the blue uniform, probably because it had been a long trip.

The woman slowly puts the sword in the scabbard and approaches with calm steps, but Muyeon still draws the sword and aims it at the woman.

As soon as he came closer, the woman took off her bloody clothes and revealed her face.

Seeing the exposed face of the woman, someone in the escort gasps.

Age doesn’t seem to have been stipulated, but it seems to be older than me.

The white-blue hair, the white skin that resembled it, the tall nose, and the lips that seemed to be filled with vitality.

Putting all of this together, he was saying that she was definitely one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Slowly watching Muyeon, she opened her mouth.

“sorry. Since I was traveling alone, I couldn’t handle it properly.”

“alone…? You mean you were taking care of these guys alone?”

“I’m usually a bit unlucky. Of course, this time, the gates of the demonic scriptures popped up in front of my eyes. I tried to catch them, but a few ran away.”

“The monster… ran away…?”

“Is it because of the martial arts in the family… It kept doing this.”

While Mu-yeon is talking to her.

I couldn’t help but be surprised to see her face.

It wasn’t because of her beautiful appearance.

Small white words written on the lower hem of the blue uniform caught my eye.

Namgung.

“Crazy…”

I spit out a swear word without even realizing it.

In the middle court, those who could write that letter on their uniform and walk around were counted on their hands.

Even more so, if there was a woman with such an appearance, there would be only one.

‘Why the hell is that crazy bitch here?’

I wiped it off slowly as cold sweat flowed.

I knew her well.

They may not know each other in their current lives, but their previous lives were different.

He’s the kind of person I’d rather not associate with than anyone I’ve known in this lifetime.

‘How can it be like this without luck?’

It calms the beating heart. It wasn’t a beautiful word like excitement.

Fear only this is fear.

The woman spoke to Muyeon in a blunt voice.

“My name is Namgoongbia. Are you going to Sichuan by any chance?”

Hearing her name, I closed my eyes. It was also.

I couldn’t help but catch my breath again.

“Then may I go with you? I will make a case.”

“No fucking… no way!”

I shouted as I kicked out the carriage door.

Then, her eyes met.

Her emotionless eyes were the same as in her previous life. That gave me more goosebumps.

Namgoongbia, the Demonic Swordswoman.

There was a woman who went mad with a sword in her previous life and became a demon, and destroyed her Sega herself.
